Google Earth & Drone Led Us To Mysterious Ancient Ruins In Desert Southwest

Tom and I are back in the desert Southwest. This time we are focusing on an area of interest with several potential historical sites. An obscure blog had rumors of a well preserved rock art panel with hundreds of amazing pictographs. We are headed that direction first, but there is also rumored to be a hard to get to Sinagua Cliff Dwelling.
